I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

Anjie even discovered that the flowering periods and flowering characteristics of several of these flowers were incompatible, making it impossible for them to be planted and bloom together.

Only the power of elves could reverse this natural law.

Amidst the flowers, a young girl in a turquoise dress and a small crown stood gracefully, her bright eyes meeting Anjie's gaze through the sea of ​​flowers.

Angela was taken aback when she saw Betty.

Because the quiet and gentle princess in front of them was completely different from the mischievous, stubborn, and unruly princess they had seen before.

While Ange was still in a daze, Betty slowly walked over. "So you really are the Holy Maiden of Light. Well, putting aside what happened earlier, this is our official meeting now. Let me reintroduce myself~"

Betty lifted her skirt slightly, revealing a pair of semi-transparent high heels, her delicate toes reflecting a pink light.

“My name is Betty, the Elf Princess, and also your…fiancée.”

"..."

Anjie did not answer, but quietly looked at the smiling girl in front of her.

Seeing that she hadn't received a response for a while, Betty asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Anjie react.

She gently shook her head, not immediately responding to Betty's question, but instead looking at the servant beside her, "May we be alone for a while?"

The servant looked troubled. "This..."

"Your Queen also said that I should have some time to get to know Princess Betty. Hmm... it would be quite awkward for both of us to just stand here and watch like this."

"..."

The servants seemed to be persuaded.

After a moment of silence, he hesitated before nodding and turning to leave.

As the unfamiliar atmosphere around her gradually disappeared, Ange looked at Betty again and said, "Alright, there's no one else here. There's no need to pretend to be so tired."

Betty's smile froze for a moment. "What...what are you saying?"

"Well, actually I have a weird quirk: I like watching composed and dignified girls get spanked and look embarrassed and ashamed. Do you want to try it?"

"...abnormal."

Betty immediately lost her composure, instinctively taking two steps back and glancing at Ange with disdain, completely losing her previous elegant demeanor.

Seeing the girl's reaction, Ange secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did your mother make you pretend like this?" Now that the matter was out in the open, Anjie felt much more relaxed and asked with a smile.

To her surprise, Betty gently shook her head. "No, I wanted it this way myself."

Anjie was taken aback.

She thought that Hathaway had deliberately made Betty act elegant and dignified in order to win her favor in order to get Betty to marry her.

Surprisingly, this was all Betty's own choice!

The clown is actually myself?

Anjie quickly pressed, "Why?"

Betty hesitated for a moment, "Because...I want to meet my mother's expectations."

P.S.: I watched the new anime "Reset Life" today, and all I can say is... we are different, we are different!

P.S.: By the way, Aki Shino and Ark Quill's voices sound so alike! They're such sweet and cute girl characters, I love them so much!

Chapter 32, Section 136: It was all an act!

“Response, expectation?” Angela tilted her head, looking at Betty with a puzzled expression.

Betty bit her lip, her right hand unconsciously gripping her left wrist. "My mother wants me to marry you."

"So you agreed?" Ange raised an eyebrow.

“Hmm…that’s Mother’s expectation…” Betty turned her head away, refusing to look at Ange.

She actually understands that what she is doing now is a bit too cunning and irresponsible.

She was marrying Ange at her mother's behest, leaving Ange no room to refuse. She herself was alright; as a member of royalty, she was already mentally prepared for political marriages.

I just feel a little sorry for Anjie.

“I’m sorry…” Betty sighed and said softly.

Ange blinked. "Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Because of you..."

"What I mean is, instead of apologizing to me, you should apologize to yourself."

"Apologize to yourself?"

Betty was taken aback, a look of confusion flashing across her eyes.

"Hmm." Ange looked into Betty's eyes, not answering her question immediately, but instead asking a question in return, "You... you don't actually like me, do you?"

Upon hearing this question, a blush crept up Betty's neck and cheeks.

She didn't know how to answer that question.

To be honest, this was only the first day she and Anjie had known each other. They didn't even have the most basic acquaintance, let alone any feelings of liking.

But her mother's command was like a shackle that sealed her heart.

Standing before her was the marriage prospect her mother had arranged for her. How could she possibly tell him the truth, "I don't like you"? If Anjie wasn't satisfied and didn't agree to marry her, her mother would be disappointed in her...

不 ...

I can't let my mother down...

I...

I like...

"I won't get angry, so please tell me the truth."

Ange's unhurried words interrupted Betty's words that were about to come out.

Betty stared blankly at Ange.

The girl in the white dress fluttered gracefully, her watery eyes gazing quietly at him. Bathed in the sunlight through the forest, the smile in her eyes was almost dazzling.

"...I'm sorry, I haven't fallen for you yet." Under the girl's gaze, Betty could only tell the truth.

Ange laughed happily, "Since you don't like me, why marry me? Just for Her Majesty the Queen's expectations? Isn't that... too irresponsible of you?"

Betty was taken aback; she hadn't expected Angela to say those things.

Looking at the girl's bright smile, Betty's mind was filled with a mix of emotions.

She was clearly detained by our elves, and her mother was also arrested...

Logically speaking, it would be reasonable for her to resent me or even insult me...

I...I...I'm the daughter who's the culprit who made her like this...

She must have been very scared, afraid of marrying an elf she didn't know... But despite that, she was still genuinely thinking of me...

The Holy Maiden of Light... truly a being so pure and flawless, from her name to her soul, that she is almost divine.

How could I possibly defile or force myself on someone like her?

However, what Ange was thinking at this moment was completely different from Betty's understanding!

After hearing Betty's reasons for agreeing to marry her, Ange figured out how to get Betty to agree to a fake marriage, or how to delay the wedding as much as possible.

However, before revealing her plan, she needed to do some preparation to get Betty to open up to her so that the plan could proceed smoothly.

Ange didn't seem to notice Betty's expression and continued to say with a smile, "Your age is considered young even among humans, let alone an immortal elf."

You still have a long time ahead of you, you can see many beautiful landscapes, and you have many things you want to experience and have never experienced before.

You haven't seen the snowscape of the permafrost in the north, have you? You haven't seen the ocean of Haina City in the south, have you? You haven't set foot on the land of the undead, have you? You haven't witnessed the prosperity of the human capital, have you? And... haven't even truly experienced love.

“...Yes.” Betty nodded silently.

Anjie continued with a smile, "If that's the case, why bury all the possibilities of the rest of your life on a complete stranger like me?"

"...Because, Mother..."

"Just with a meaningless order? Isn't that incredibly irresponsible towards your future and life?" Angela raised an eyebrow, looking at Betty meaningfully.

Betty gritted her teeth and lowered her head.

She actually understood everything Anjie was saying.

But it is precisely because she understands that she is even more aware of her current sorrow.

Seeing that she had stirred up the girl's emotions, Ange coughed lightly and slowly stepped forward, taking Betty's hand in her own. "Don't be sad. I know you have your own reasons, but I still hope you can take responsibility for your future and your life."

Betty shook her head bitterly. "I am the daughter of the Elf Queen." She could not disobey her mother's will.

The last sentence was something she silently added in her mind.

"I'm still the Holy Maiden of Light!" Ange smiled slightly. "Actually... I have a plan that can solve this problem."

Betty remained silent.

"Don't worry, it won't affect my mother's engagement to the Elf Queen. It's just... it's aimed at the two of us." Ange smiled slyly.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Betty abruptly raised her head. "You... you really have a way?"

"Hmm~"

Anjie smiled and nodded.

However, she didn't rush to say it.

Instead, after looking around, he suddenly hugged Betty.

"Huh!?" Betty was taken aback, the warm breath near her earlobe making her body go limp. "What, what are you going to do?"
